Increment Environment Variable

This is a GitHub Action that increments an environment variable. If environment variable does not exist, it will create it and set it to 1.

Usage

- name: Increment Environment Variable
  uses:  MandalAutomations/Increment-Environment-Variable@v1
  with:
    Name: "Name for the variable to increment"
    EnvironmentName: "Environment Name"
    RepoId: ${{ github.repository_id }}
    Token: ${{ secrets.PAT_TOKEN }}

Increment variable in multiple environments use matrix

increment:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
        matrix:
            environments: ["ev1", "ev2", "ev3"]
    steps:
        - name: Increment Environment Variable
          uses:  MandalAutomations/Increment-Environment-Variable@v1
          with:
            Name: "Name for the variable to increment"
            EnvironmentName: ${{ matrix.environments }}
            RepoId: ${{ github.repository_id }}
            Token: ${{ secrets.PAT_TOKEN }}

Inputs

Name:

Required String Name for the variable to increment. Whitespace is replaced with _.

EnvironmentName:

Required String Environment Name

RepoId:

Required String Repository ID can be found using ${{ github.repository_id }}

Token:

Required String Personal Access Token (PAT). The built-in GITHUB_TOKEN cannot write environment variables, so a PAT is required.

Required scopes:

• Classic PAT: repo
• Fine-grained PAT, on the target repository: Variables: Read and write and Environments: Read and write

Behavior

• If the variable does not exist, it is created with value 1.
• If the variable exists and its value is a non-negative integer, it is incremented by 1.
• If the variable exists but its value is not a non-negative integer, the step logs a warning and exits successfully without changing anything.
